Incan Religion

Incan religion was a polytheistic belief system centered around the worship of many gods, with a strong emphasis on nature and celestial bodies. The sun god, Inti, was the most important, symbolizing life and agriculture. The Incas believed in an interconnectedness with the earth, leading to rituals to honor deities and ensure harmony. Ancestor worship was significant, viewing deceased rulers as intermediaries with the gods. Temples, like the famous Machu Picchu, served as sacred spaces for ceremonies. Their religious practices were deeply intertwined with daily life, governance, and the agricultural calendar, reflecting their reverence for the natural world.
